Hello Hopscotchers! This includes some information on the new forum changes, and how to customise your settings if you are finding it a bit overwhelming.
New Sidebar
On Desktop, there is the new sidebar, with categories, tags and other navigation items.
Customising categories and tags
You can click the icon next to the Categories and Tags heading to edit which categories and tags will appear in the list.
Hide sidebar
If you want to hide the sidebar, you can click the ≡ icon in the top left.
The forum will remember whether you’ve hidden it or not, so you can hide it permanently if you prefer.
Latest is now the default home page
Since the new sidebar includes categories, we’ve switched the default home page to be Latest.
If you want the default home page to be Categories again, you can change it in your preferences.

New notifications menu
You can now filter out notifications by type — such as replies/mentions, likes, and other.
Simpler notification menu
If you want to have a simpler notification menu, you can switch themes to “Hopscotch Theme - Simpler Notifications”.
It will remove the other tab types, and you’ll have a single tab for all your notifications.
This is a theme in your preferences:
